APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.

F5 and WWT are proud to support customer transitions to BIG-IP Next.

BIG-IP application automation has been at the forefront for a decade. As we look to build out the next ten years of automation, this session helped you learn about F5's new methodologies and implementations and where we went wrong over the past ten years. Because BIG-IP and applications are no longer in single or DR locations due to digital transformation and the global pandemic, our implementation footprints have moved to distributed locations. In this presentation, we observed firsthand how BIG-IP application automation has changed to support this transformation, including how we create reusable items with local resources.

F5 BIG-IP Next makes it easier and faster to deploy, manage, secure, and monitor your apps in any environment.
